Workers at a Nespresso warehouse in western Switzerland found over 1,100 pounds of cocaine, with a street value of $50 million, as they unloaded coffee beans that had arrived by train.
This image released by Fribourg cantonal police on Friday, May 6, 2022 shows a shipment containing cocaine seized in the Swiss town of Romont last Monday. Police say an investigation is under way after workers at a Nespresso factory in western Switzerland happened upon a stash of 500 kilograms of cocaine, with a street value of about 50 million francs , as they unloaded coffee beans that had arrived by train.
Early indications were that the shipment turned up in five containers that had arrived by sea from Brazil before being transferred onto a train, authorities said. On Friday, the European Union’s law enforcement agency Europol and the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction reported that cocaine availability in Europe “is probably at an all-time high.”
The monitoring center said it estimates the EU cocaine retail market was worth at least 10.5 billion euros in 2020, while cautioning that the figure was likely to underestimate the true size of the market.
